Bambu Studio not connecting to printer when on LAN + Wifi

hi everyone,

when setting up my printer i noticed that Bambu Studio has some issues connecting to my printer.

my setup might not be the most common, but i am connected to the company LAN and to Wifi.
the Wifi an the company LAN are NOT connected.
The printer is connected to the Wifi. in order to make Bambu Studio connect to the printer i have to disconnect the LAN cable shortly.

not sure if this is a bug, maybe i can specify a prefered interface somewhere this might be a quick fix.

thank you for your help

Hey, I’ve got something similar, as my work computer only has a wired connection to the work network and does not have wifi access. What I did was buy a cheap dual band router off of amazon for about $30, connect it to the company wired network via ethernet, set it up in access point mode, and then use my phone with the Bambu app to connect the printer to the 2.4 Ghz network the access point made. Then I was able to connect to the printer with bambu slicer after restarting the slicer.
I hope that helps.
